European Hinge Jigs

You can buy different drills instead of those shown - which are not included anyway. I ordered the CMT - Thanks @Scott in Bend Oregon for the heads up! - but held off on ordering the drill bits until I decide which hinges I will use.

The boring distance (what you’re referring to as tabs) is set by moving the back stop (the part with the green tape on it in the original picture I posted) in or out. You’ll see it removed in the picture below.

We made spacers to set the distance for the most common hinges we use. There are set up blocks that go on the bits in the head so we can set the left and right stops. We also have a spacer to drill the 3/4 hole diameter for bi-fold doors most commonly used on corner cabinets with lazy susan’s in them. This spacer is 1/4” thick so the 35mm bit clears it height wise. It is currently set up for inset applications.

There is an adjustable depth stop rod behind the 35mm bit.

The one spacer reads Hetch shallow cup, that cup hole is drilled 7.8mm if I remember correctly. It is the only hinge on the market currently with a cup that will work on a 1/2” thick panel with soft close.

Why are all the holes in “1/2 full inset” piece so ragged? I would think it would compromise the installation strength.

I don’t understand “installation strength” Once the stops are set this goes back in a drawer.

The 1/2 Full indicate have crank or full crank hinges use on inset doors.

It’s 5-6 years old, probably used at least 1000 times. Still works just fine, I snapped on 4 doors today that were drilled using this jig to setup the boring head. The hinge plate holes were bored on the CNC when the panels were created.

We have all of the bits that CMT markets, if we need something different odds are we have them for the CNC in a configuration that will fit the Blum jig.
